Easy, readily accessible ingredients, and complex flavor. I made this for my husband and myself, and reduced all the ingredients by 1/2. I also made these changes - I don't have a cast iron skillet, and so sauteed the onions in just barely enough oil, and really tenderized them. I also reduced the chipotle, which I took from a can of chipotles in adobo sauce, down to 2 teaspoons, and we thought it hot enough. {Now stop that laughing! I can't imagine using 1Tablespoon (remember - our recipe was reduced by half! My mouth is still tingling -but in a good way!} I also used 2 vine-ripened tomatoes, approximately 4 ounces each, and apart from not cooling the tomatoes, and peeling the garlic and baking/broiling it with the tomatoes and a drizzle of oil, didn't change anything else. The cloves were essential to this dish. If you reduce the recipe like I did, it's hard to reduce to 1/16 of a teaspoon, so add the barest dusting, and very slowly increase until you get the hint of cloves.
I only checked out this recipe, because my brother and sister-in-law hated Mexican cooking, until they tried a Rick Bayless recipe. My husband and I always loved Mexican, but now we love Rick Bayless, too!

Relatively easy. Great flavor-just add a little chipotle at a time. I only added 1/2 the shrimp (smaller than called for. There really wasn't any extra sauce. Would make double sauce for 2 lbs or shrimp. Served with sauteed onions, white rice and fresh tortillas. Will definately make again.

This recipe is full of flavor and spice! A warning to those who can't stand spicy foods-- this one is very spicy. Next time I make it, I'll add less chipotle chilies (that's just my personal preference. However, if you can take the heat, go for it! this recipe is definitely for you!
